Thought you guys would be interested in what me and a friend did tonight. After recently upgrading my friends computer, we decided we wanted to have some fun with his old motherboard and video card. We took out the parts to a road where we knew no one would come and pulled out two mighty blow torches. We fried the solder off the back of the mobo and fried the components individually. We then proceeded to light the motherboard on fire and watch it melt. This particular computer caused us extreme anguish when playing games for it ran like [-peep-]. We kicked that thing daily, and the burning was worth the pain we suffered. IT was very satisifying, and we reccomend it to any one who really hates there computer. Revenge is very, very sweeet. We then proceeded to savagely beat the boards with boulders bigger than our heads, tearing it to shreds. The only remaining part of the components is a cover to the via chipset of the mobo, which when burnt turned into many bright colors. Very cool. Anyways, reply and let me know what you think. Lets here some other computer bashing stories!!

Forgot to mention, we also ran it over a few times. It was flat as a pancake. I think I'll put the warranty to good use and say it simply exploded without warning. Hopefully they won't notice the tire marks.

We video taped the whole thing. Once I can get my hands on a tv tuner or something to put the video onto the computer I'll definitely get pictures and video clips up. Speaking of which, anyone know of a good, cheap tv tuner, just for video camera to computer purposes??

I bought that card a while back and found out it doesn't work too well with Windows XP. I went through the FAQ on their website and they said something along the lines of "There is a known issue with Windows XP and it has yet to be resolved" and so I returned it because it never worked.

I am Pozinet's friend who's mobo we messed up. He forgot to mention that after we had mangled the board, we made a tomb for it out rocks and melted the remaining components to the top of the rock pile. We are planning to revisit the site in a few weeks to see if anybody found our mess, we may tape that event as well. We will try to get the video on the computer and take some screens and such to show u guys the damage. Anyway, lets hear some more computer bashing stories to discuss!!!

If you havent smoked up at least one component of your system, you havent pushed hard enough!!!

wow! I can't wait to see the pictures

It's good that u took revenge on bad mobo and graphics card.

Think about what these computers would want to do(if they could) with stupid users who never try to learn and always screw the computers
